Stop worrying about things. It’s fine. It’s a GBBR. You are gonna drive yourself crazy over things you don’t need to worry about. Lol. When it breaks then worry. In the meantime just enjoy it. Not that we can play at the moment. Meh! And did you buy it from new? If so nothing to worry about. The MWS is awesome out of the box. Simple.

For those who want to know what power you get from using Abbey Ultra Predator gas (the one that comes in a red can) see the attached pic. I did some testing using 0.3 Geoffs and 0.2 Excels at a temperature of 20c (I do believe). The left side shows a virgin G&P bolt carrier group. On the right is the standard Marui bolt. The max figure for the G&P bolt was 387fps!! With the Marui bolt it was 329fps on 0.2s. Interesting results eh? The mag was filled up each time fresh of course which explains the initial high power.

This is the tool I'm on about. One of our members made one.....

I believe that MK18 barrel nut is the same spec as the standard MWS barrel nut. If so one just needS a metal tube of the correct diameter and then mill out the notches in the tube to fit the barrel nut. Drill a hole out on the muzzle end and then shove a metal bar through it for leverage. Twist. That should do it, surely? Of course my theory depends upon the MK18 nut being the same as the MWS nut.

Video of it dumping in full auto please..... Asking for a friend like...

Try some different gas first... Abbey Green for the warmer times and Abbey Ultra Predator (red can) for the colder temperatures.. then see what type of power you get... if that still doesn't satisfy your needs then either a Angry Gun NPA nozzle or a G&P NPAS valve... there is also an RATech one. I have both an Angry Gun and a G&P one. I've only tested the AG one and it works well with no hiccups... (but is surplus to my requirements coz my G&P NPAS will go into my G&P bolt).

I know right. I mean what the #bleep does that actually mean? 😂

Now this ain't bad at all... I mean its made me want to get out there, don a boonie and run around a jungle in the rain sliding around in the mud!

Yeah that’s true. Once the correct tool becomes available we will all have a laugh about it.

Exactly what I have gone and done.

Yup it sure does look nice..... it's similar to the madbull colour if not the same... they probably use the same RAL codes? The fundamental problem with the Mk18 MWS is that the hop rubber can't be changed easily coz you can't get the bloody rail off and ergo the barrel out. That is correct yes?

I thought the MWS MK18 rail is already FDE/tan/bronze or whatever in colour already?

Otherwise a tungsten carbide cutting bit should do it... but be careful you don't nick the barrel or rail... Dremel do a cutting/milling bit which will eat up the metal easily...

Damn! That’s the infamous MK18 with the almost impossible barrel nut isn’t it? I would have suggested using the correct tool to remove it but that may not be possible now as you’ve lost the teeth.

. Those rubber sleeves look interesting. But a tenner a pop hmmmm a lot for what they are. 🤔 . It’s a jungle out there I tell. Full of ‘commie’ squirrels! Evil buggers!

Haha busted, i do have black XTMs on the bottom of the rail. I won’t be leaving it on irons. I have options of red dots, ACOG and a strike eagle depending on the theatre of engagement I’ll be in at the time.

Added a Magpul grip and I must admit I’m beginning to really like the two tone. I’m just waiting on some MK18 KAC type sights to turn up and then that’s her done. If I could wrap the mags in a tan colour that would be epic but doubt that’s gonna happen

There was a chap selling a SF2 here... don't know if its still here or sold... could be worth a punt? I have both a RS EoTech 557 and a COMP M2 and can never decide which one to bloody use lol. If I'm being honest the old school M2 just looks the biz as its so Black Hawk Down if you get my drift...

Coming along nicely. Have you decided on the optics yet?

MWS grip. I’m trying to get it off, the grip that is, just thought I’d clarify that quickly 😂 I’ve had a look at the Eagle6 getting it off video (sounds so wrong) but wanted to know which Allen key is needed to get the blasted bolt off. I don’t want to buy a new ratchet set if I can help it though. Oh figured I’d change the Marui grip for a tan Magpul MOE grip (GBBR version). Ta

For some reason I googled bitch slap (no idea why) and this came up. Is that a TM recoil and a TM Glock 17 and what I assume is a TM samurai or have I got that wrong? 🤔 Looks like a great gun movie? Right lads?

Remember the good old days when we used to talk about people’s TM recoils and ripping the guts out of them and slapping in so many upgrades that the TM fairies all died in a horrible prommy death and then trying to sell the gun for £1k coz that’s how much was spent on it. Don’t ya miss them days. Don’t ya? <Insert TM fairy dust emoji> And in other news..... Elsa has popped up to build a snowman coz of the abundant snowflakes falling 😂😂😂 Edit: Now I can’t get that bloody song out my head.... see what you’ve all gone and done 😂.

You sir have just hurt my inner snowflake.... <insert waa waa emoji> Where's the report button and dislike button and the thumbs down button? FFS you call this Facebook.... Oh wait wrong web browser session.... <insert duh emoji>
